This is not just Ras El Hanout Roast Chicken. No siree. This is Ras El Hanout Roast Chicken and potatoes, dripping in a sweet & tangy marmalade, olive, parsley and preserved lemon butter and topped with a sharp, sumac & red onion pickle. This is also recipe...

I am always looking for new, easy recipes for entertaining that can be largely made ahead, look super impressive on the plate and taste amazing. This Spiced Lamb with Preserved Lemon Salsa Verde ticked all of those boxes and more except that every time I have cooked...
